Sources within Microsoft tell me that the final code on System Center Operations Manager 2007 was signed off last night. The golden and final code, also known as RTM (Released to Manufacturing) will probably be available for RDP and TAP customers in the coming days. General availability should be in the coming weeks. Expect a big announcement at the upcoming Microsoft Management Summit! My sources tell me that the trial version will be available very very soon and that the VLK (volume license) media will contain a tool to convert the trial version to a full version with the correct key. Let's hope that Microsoft will keep their word and support upgrading from RC2 to RTM.
